The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

I need a map of a prison camp

I need a map of a prison camp for an upcoming game. I don't need anything fancy; something like Stalag 13 from Hogan's Heroes would suffice. Would anyone here happen to have anything on hand to share? (I'm using Campaign Cartographer 3.)

I think there were a bunch of prison maps done for a mapping challenge a little while back - I vaguely remember Bogie did quite a good one with a bridge over a chasm; other people too. Perhaps check the mapping challenge archive forums (search for prison, note which month it was and then check out the thumbnails)? Otherwise, you might want to give a bit more detail about what you are looking for - for example a sci-fi prison camp is going to look totally different to a medieval-style prison camp, I would imagine, and are you looking for a combat-type 5'=inch map or a larger overview?

Depending on what you want, searching for any sort of camp map might provide something you can refluff into a prison camp; for example here is a good one by evile eagle (link to deviant art, but he might have posted that map on these forums too): Iron Tower Merecenary Camp. by ~eViLe-eAgLe on deviantART.
